Verdict

EYE CAN EAR AMOUR (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a second over 1m at Menangle. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. BETWEEN DECKS (8) was out of the money last start when 35 metres from the winner in seventh over 1 5/16m at Penrith. Best form reference might be his win at Penrith three starts back. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. His recent effort is not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. MICKEY BE NIMBLE (3) is better than his last-start run for eighth over 1m at Menangle would suggest. Worth an each-way ticket. A LITTLE DILEMMA (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by a head at Tamworth over 1 ³/16m.
